TO: Herbert, before you ridicule Zeev's ability to assess VLNC's patent portfolio, you might want to check out Zeev's patent portfolio. I've already given you a hint about how to do so. I'll do it again...Go to Zeev's personal profile. Click on his favorite link. Read. TO: FMK, the post you cite in support of the VLNC patents from an anonymous poster on another thread is totally unconvincing. Anybody could have posted that. There is no substance. If you really believe Lev's "stepping on patents" statement, I suggest you get on the phone to your contacts at VLNC and point Zeev in the right direction. If there is anybody on this thread who is capable of forming an intelligent assessment of VLNC's patent portfolio, it is Zeev. I guarantee you, if he finds patents that support Lev's "stepping on patents" statement, he will say so. If he does not, he will also say so. I'm sure, given your confidence in VLNC and its patents, you will help Zeev find the right ones. You would be doing this thread a big favor.

Herbert, it is always fun to respond to a post like yours. I really do not have such "great credentials" after all, I am known on SI as the "turnip farmer" and indeed, I am a farmer. I dropped out of high school as well. Ya, I forgot, I managed to earn an M.Sc. in Nuclear Physics and a D.Sc. in Solid State Physics. Oh, another bit of credentials, one of my own early patents (3,891,461) dealt with fuel cells (kind of pretty close to batteries), I also did extensive work in electrochromic cells, which are nothing else but batteries operated for display or light modulation in general. Did some work on hydrogen fuel cells with polymer electrolytes (kind of similar, but no cigar, admittedly, to the current new version of VLNC's battery), and the subject of my Doctoral thesis is on peculiar properties of manganese oxide (strange, that this material is coming back as a potentially critical electrode component for VLNC's batteries). Oh yes, I have authored about 40 patents so far in about 15 to 20 different fields. By the way, now that I have posted my insignificant credentials, may I ask what are yours? Zeev
